Definitions
- the simulator housing is arranged stationary on the amplifier housing and has a hydraulic chamber, the connection of which can be released with a pressure-free pressure medium reservoir and in which one with the movable wall in Active connection of the standing simulator piston is guided axially displaceably, on which the input member is supported.
- This measure brings a significant increase in the functional reliability of the brake system.
- the stationary arrangement of the simulator housing with the control valve housing guided therein makes it possible to use a weaker input element return spring.
- a stationary simulator housing 5 On the brake pedal side half of the booster housing there is a stationary simulator housing 5, in which a hydraulic chamber 50 is formed, which is connected to the pressure medium reservoir 7 via a schematically illustrated line. This connection can be shut off or released by means of a solenoid valve 8, which can be excited via a control line 38.
- a pneumatic space 60 is also formed in the interior of the simulator housing 5 a pneumatic line 46 and a valve arrangement 12 can optionally be connected to the vacuum source 42 or the atmosphere.
- the valve arrangement 12 is formed by an electromagnetically operable 3/2-way valve, the vacuum inlet connection of which is connected to the vacuum source 42 via a second check valve 41.
- the 3/2-way valve can be actuated either by the central control electronics 33 via a control line 43 or by removing an ignition key present in the motor vehicle, which is shown schematically in FIG. 1 and is provided with the reference number 6.
- the vacuum brake booster 1 has two shell-shaped housing parts 48, 49 assembled with their open sides, which form an amplifier housing 10.
- the one on the left in Fig. 2, with one not closer Pneumatic connection shown housing part 48 is fixedly connected to the tandem master cylinder 2, while the right housing part 49 carries the simulator housing 5, which holds a control valve housing 63 of the vacuum brake booster 1 slidably and sealed out.
- the hydraulic chamber 50 mentioned above in connection with FIG. 1 is delimited by a simulator piston 53 which is displaceably guided therein and is operatively connected to the movable wall 70.
- the hydraulic connection of the chamber 5 to the pressure medium reservoir 7 (FIG. 1), which can be shut off or released by means of the electromagnetic valve 8, is formed by channels 52 formed in the simulator housing 5.
- the simulator piston 53 is preferably provided with an axial recess 54 which a Simulator spring package 55 receives, which is formed by two coaxially arranged compression springs 56,57 of different lengths.
- the arrangement of the two compression springs 56, 57 is preferably such that the longer, radially external compression spring 56 is clamped between the bottom of the recess 54 and a plate sleeve 58 held in the control valve housing 63, while the shorter, radially internal compression spring 57 is clamped in the recess 54 is centered by a radial collar 65 of a guide sleeve 59 which extends into an axial recess 66 of the plate sleeve 58 and is pushed onto a pin 64 of the simulator piston 53.
- the pneumatic chamber 60 (FIG. 1) is delimited in the simulator housing 5 by the simulator piston 53 and is divided into a first pressure chamber 61 and a second pressure chamber 62 by means of a membrane wall 68 fastened to the control valve housing 63, which is formed in the brake release position by means of the control valve housing 63, Channels not specified in more detail are connected to one another, the second pressure chamber 62 being connected to the second working chamber 72 of the vacuum brake booster 1 by means of a pneumatic connection 78 formed in the simulator housing 5.
- the negative pressure of the negative pressure source 42 prevails in the two working chambers 71 and 72, so that the movable wall 70 is pressure-balanced and is held against the stop on the rear housing part 49 by the return spring 76.
- the same negative pressure also prevails in the pneumatic chamber 60 in the simulator housing 5, the connection 52 between the hydraulic chamber 50 and the unpressurized pressure medium reservoir 7 being blocked.
- the pressure built up in the master cylinder 2 must be at least partially reduced. It is assumed that the force acting on the brake pedal 3 remains constant. After the above-mentioned blocking tendency has been reported to the central electronic control unit 33 by one of the sensors, it generates switchover signals which cause the valve arrangement 11 to be switched over and thus to vent the working chamber 71 on the master cylinder side of the vacuum brake booster 1. Since there is now no pressure difference acting on the movable wall 70 (the brake pedal-side working chamber 72 is still under atmospheric pressure), the resulting reinforcing force also disappears. The described removal of the boosting force consequently results in a pressure reduction in the master brake cylinder 2.
- the use of the pressure sensor 15 ensures that when the pressure falls below a certain level, the control function of the brake system according to the invention is switched off by the central control electronics 33. At the same time, the output signal of the pressure sensor 15 causes the electromagnetic valve 8 to switch over, that releases the hydraulic connection (channels 52) between the hydraulic chamber 50 and the pressure medium reservoir 7. Since the simulator piston 53 can now be moved, the "remaining" amplifying force is supported by the actuating force on the brake pedal. Under these circumstances, slip control can no longer take place.
